Information We Collect and Receive

We collect and receive information about you and your device when you give it to us directly, when you use our Services, and from certain third-party sources.

How we use your Information

The information we collect and receive is used to provide our Services, to improve our Services, and to offer effective advertising, which helps us keep most of our Services free.

Information Sharing

AOL may share your personal information in limited circumstances, including when we have your consent to do so or when sharing is necessary to protect AOL or comply with the law. Our agents and contractors may have access to your information, but only to perform services for AOL. We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties. We may, however, share non-personally identifiable information with select business partners.

Internet Advertising

Our ability to provide free content and services depends on advertising. Some of our ads are displayed based on the page visited, but many of our ads are targeted to you based on your interests and other information we have about you. We want you to understand how internet advertising works and offer resources and choices. Learn more.

Your Choices

You can opt-out of the use of your data for interest-based advertising.
